Cannon: Mariah's "such a trooper"

Nick Cannon is proud of his wife Mariah Carey's "trooper" mentality in the face of her injury.

Carey dislocated her shoulder on Sunday while shooting her latest music promo for her single "#Beautiful" in New York City. Immediately after the accident, she visited New York's Hospital for Special Surgery on the Upper East Side to have her shoulder reset.

Cannon was with the mother of his two children when she sustained the trauma, and he is shocked by how strong Carey was through all the pain.

"She's such a trooper," Nick told the "Today" show Tuesday. "I was going to rush to the hospital with her, [but she said,] 'You get back in there and finish that video!' Then, after they put [her] shoulder back in place, bandaged her all up, she came back to the video early in the morning and finished out everything."
